I just got some new gauntlets after a quest which add, through a magic enchantment, 3 to magic protection. Now there is buff icon at the top of the screen which stands means my magical protection is increased. That's great, but I dont need an icon to tell me. I ve got the game on high settings, looking good and now I have an icon in the way permanently until i take off the gauntlets. I know that I will eventually find more items like this and it isnt neccessary to have a line of buffs blocking the top of the screen. This is just my view, if anyone has any comments then post them.
